I toyed around with 4x4xfar but never went there. Still like it, still might...

Hey Chris! The guy I bought my '95 from back in '99 had that plate! It looked pretty cool 4X4XFAR. He took the plate with him as a momento and his next vehicle was a VW bug so I can't imagine he transfered the plate (can't remeber if you could still do that back then). It may just be available!

Not really - all you need are three pieces of metal, a Bosch jigsaw, a heavy duty hand drill and someone who can weld them together for you - think of your pride of accomplishment when you build one your self!

Rovers being what they are - the hole pattern has enough small variations where you almost have to custom fit the hitch to the rear crossmember so its really best to make your own.

Notch the lower edge of the channel for the receiver tube (tight fit is best), bevel cut the upper legs of the channel. Cut a notch in the RH vertical leg for the hitch pin to clear.

Notch the vertical leg of the 14" angle to fit over the tube. The vertical leg goes toward the rear and the uncut leg goes across the top of the receiver tube facing forward. Test fit the pieces and mark the hole pattern in the rear crossmember on the channel and also where the two holes that are in the bottom of the cross member will line up with the horizontal leg of the angle iron. Drill undersize pilot holes (8 [laces) as well as the two holes for attaching the chain. I can't remember if I had to shorten teh receiver tube by an inch or so to clear the gas tank - maybe but it wasn't much.

Tack weld the receiver tube in the channel so the forward edge of 5/8 hole for the hitch pin is about 1/2" forward of the web of the channel. Slide the notch in the 14" angle down over the top of the receiver tube behind (forward side) of the channel with the horizontal leg facing forward and tack in place. After some test fitting weld the heck out of all the joints (front and back) and step the holes up to finish size, bolt it up and tow away.
